~Reflections of the Face~ what shape is yours

~ We live in a world full of many faces, each face is unique. Your face  reveals your personality, your genetic and cultural identity and it can be read like a book. The face is the one feature which best distinguishes you. Even when we cannot remember a name of  someone we have once met before ,we will always remember a face.~
Mona Lisa


Since others spend so much time looking at our face it makes sense to present it in the best light possible!
When you know your face shape you can choose your most flattering hairstyles, hats, eyeglasses, sunglasses and earrings.
